USER-DEFINED STRUCTURED TESTING FOR USE IN DIABETES CARE
First Claim
1. A method for measuring glucose levels of a patient, comprising:
- receiving from the patient an objective for a structured test;
identifying a test template that corresponds to the objective from a plurality of predefined test templates;
presenting the patient with a plurality of contextual criterion for the identified test template;
receiving selection of one or more contextual criterion by the patient from the plurality of contextual criterion;
constructing a structured test that includes the contextual criterion selected by the patient and in accordance with the identified test template; and
administering the structured test to the patient, including prompting the patient to provide a sample of blood to a glucose meter, such that the steps of the method are implemented by a computer processor of a device.

Abstract
A method is provided for constructing a structured test having user-defined adherence criteria. The method includes: presenting a patient with a plurality of contextual criterion for a structured test; receiving selection of one or more contextual criterion from the plurality of contextual criterion; and constructing a structured test that includes the contextual criterion selected by the patient. During administration of the structured test, each of the contextual criteria selected by the patient is evaluated. Sample data acquired during the structured test is reported as compliant when each of the context criterion selected by the patient was met during the administration of the structured test or tagged as non-compliant when at least one contextual criterion was not met during the administration of the structured test

10. A method for collecting biomarkers from a patient, comprising:
-
presenting a patient with a plurality of contextual criterion for a structured test; receiving selection of one or more contextual criterion by the patient from the plurality of contextual criterion; constructing a structured test that includes the contextual criterion selected by the patient; administering the structured test to the patient, including collecting biomarker data from the patient using a collection device; evaluating whether a given contextual criterion selected by the patient has been met during the administration of the structured test; and tagging sample data acquired during the structured test by the collection device as non-compliant when the given contextual criterion was not met during the administration of the structured test. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for measuring glucose levels of a patient, comprising:
-
prompting the patient to provide a sample of blood to a glucose meter before and after a given event within a window of time that encapsulates the given event; determining a blood glucose measure from the sample of blood input to the glucose meter; presenting a query to the patient for contextual data regarding another event that occurs outside the window of time; receiving a reply to the query from the patient; and associating the reply with the blood glucose measure, where the steps of prompting, presenting, and associated are implemented by a computer processor of a device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A diabetes management device, comprises:
-
a test configuration module configured to receive an objective for a structured test from a user of the device and operable to identify a test template that corresponds to the objective from a plurality of predefined test templates, the test configuration module in data communication with a display of the device to present a plurality of contextual criterion for the identified test template and operable to receive selection of one or more contextual criterion by the user from the plurality of contextual criterion; a test builder module configured to receive the contextual criterion selected by the user and construct a structured test that includes the contextual criterion selected by the user and in accordance with the identified test template; and a test administration module operable to administer the structure test to a patient, where the test configuration module, the test builder module and the test administration module are implemented as computer-executable instructions by a computer processor of the device. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for collecting blood glucose measures from a patient, comprising:
-
presenting a patient with a plurality of contextual criterion for a structured test, where the structured test includes prompting the patient to provide a sample of blood to a glucose meter before and after a given event; receiving selection of one or more contextual criterion by the patient from the plurality of contextual criterion; constructing a structured test that includes the contextual criterion selected by the patient; administering the structured test to the patient multiple times over a period of time, thereby acquiring a sample instance of blood glucose measures for each structured test in a series of administered structured tests; evaluating whether a given contextual criterion selected by the patient has been met during the administration of a given structured test; and tagging sample data acquired during the given structured test as non-compliant or discarding the sample data when the given contextual criterion was not met during the administration of the given structured test. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
